Joe,

Wonderful! I've been working on learning C and learning the Carbon API's 
to attack this very problem, because it's been the most glaring issue 
with Tile on OS X. Thank you so much for your work.

I notice in the screenshot that the selected theme is "HITheme," not 
"Aqua." Is this a separate theme/style that will have to be explicitly 
chosen by the developer? Are there other differences between HITheme and 
Aqua besides the notebook tab?
